Night Moves - Criterion Collection (Blu-ray)Arthur Penns haunting neonoir reimagines the hard boiled detective film for the disillusioned, paranoid 1970s. In one of his greatest performances, Gene Hackman oozes world weary cynicism as a private investigator whose search for an actresss missing daughter (Melanie Griffith) leads him from the Hollywood Hills to the Florida Keys, where he is pulled into a sordid family drama and a sinister conspiracy he can hardly grasp. Bolstered by Alan Sharps

and one so exquisitely conjured that you feel you live there for a while

often jaunty

How crazy would they seem

A work of fierce candour and precision
